William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

I don't think there was ever a question that the train is safer! I was on the Barnstaple line at one point yesterday and everything was on time completely disregarding the snow that was still about.
